“To live is Christ” is to know you are loved by Love. And then it is to love. To love one another freely and fully as those in whom God’s love is being perfected IN US as we learn more and more each day to trust his love FOR US.
An Angelic Advent. Day 12: He rode on a cherub and flew; he came swiftly on the wings of the wind.
How do we know that God is rescuing us? Because one day another angelic advent will occur. God will ride down on his cherub again. This time visible to the whole world. Smoke from his nostrils and fire from his mouth. And all the world will see him. No more veil of darkness. Just light.
TLIC Daily. Day 346. December 12: God is greater than our heart.
God knows you’re righteous. He knows you’re alive in Christ. He knows the real you, and he loves you anyway. So go live your life boldly before him. Because “to live is Christ.”
An Angelic Advent. Day 11: The the Lord commanded the angel, and he put his sword back into his sheath.
One thousand years later the Angel of the Lord standing between earth and heaven will put his sword in his sheath and he will leave heaven to enter earth. Not to demand a sacrifice, but to BE the sacrifice.
TLIC Daily. Day 345. December 11: God’s seed abides in him.
If you can see yourself as God’s child, born of God, participating in his own nature, then, you might just find that your doing has begun to match your being. You might just find that your “to live” looks like it “is Christ.”
An Angelic Advent. Day 10: And the Angel of the Lord said to her, “Behold you are barren, but you shall conceive and bear a son.”
Yes, advents always begin in darkness, but God never lets them stay there. He always shines a light. Samson. Jesus. You. Me. We are the light of God in this world of darkness shining the light of self-sacrifice through the life and light of Christ in us.
To Live is Christ
